Chatting with some Mormons next to their temple, Taipei ..with their "angel" Moroni (steeple)

Thanks to the two "elders" who very politely answered my questions ..
Mormon beliefs -
Salvation – they believe that we are saved by the blood of Christ “after all we can do” (no Mormon has an assurance of salvation) therefore it is a work based “religion”..not based on being "born again" by Spirit and water, then we do works...(which is knowing God in a personal relationship by the Spirit).."And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ" Romans 8 vs 9....(therefore the Mormons believe in a completely different "gospel" than in the Bible)

God - was once a man and his name was Adam who lived with his celestial wife Eve in the garden of Eden. Also they believe in other gods such as Elohim and Jehovah (copied from the biblical name of Jesus)..this in opposition to biblical Christianity.. where there is only one God Deuteronomy 6:4 ,5 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength"

Many gods - and we are all on our way to become gods...which will live in heaven ..they don’t believe in hell, but in three heavens

Jesus Christ - as not the Savior but just another man become god and was married to Martha, Mary and Mary Magdalene and he is just one of many gods.

Remember to pray for the Mormons that they will receive eternal life.
